What's on in Grangetown

Tyne & Wear, England

Share:

Quiz nights where the debate over question 7 lasts longer than the quiz itself. Coffee mornings that turn into proper natter sessions. Craft fairs where you'll actually find something worth buying instead of the usual tat. That's Grangetown, and we've got it all listed — from book clubs to bingo, farmers' markets to film screenings. The sort of events where you'll probably bump into someone you know, which is either brilliant or your worst nightmare depending on whether you've been dodging Dave from the parish council.

Humour ‘Learning Greek UK Tour 2’

Humour ‘Learning Greek UK Tour 2’

Humour live together in Glasgow. They formed across the 2021 lockdowns, writing and recording their material at home, with the music intended as a backdrop to Andreas' lyrics. Sometimes they’re about letting people down, sometimes they’re about pets dying, sometimes they’re about trying to say something when you don’t have anything worth saying. Signing to SoYoung Records off the back of a few rough demos, it was clear Humour had a unique sound. Their first release ‘Yeah, Mud!’ gained critical acclaim from NME, Clash Magazine, DIY, Dork and more. Following multiple plays on Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, and BBC Scotland, the band eventually released their debut EP, ‘Pure Misery’, which quickly established Humour as one of the most exciting acts in the country. They were featured in NME’S 100, BBC Scotland’s Top 25 for 2023, and three tracks from Pure Misery featured in The Herald’s Top 100 Tunes from Scotland in 2022. The band immediately began to tour extensively off the back of the Pure Misery EP, supporting Do Nothing, Folly Group, Egyptian Blue, and Enumclaw at gigs and festivals across the UK, France, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The band were then invited across the Atlantic to showcase at SXSW, where they packed out venues across Austin, TX. They followed this up with a debut UK headline tour, including shows in Brighton, London, Margate, Leeds, and Newcastle.
